Abstract | Skipping the monomer: A highly efficient reductive aromatization reaction transforms an unconjugated precursor polymer into a high-mol.-wt., butadiyne-linked anthracene homopolymer. Photophys. and electrochem. analyses reveal that some of these new materials display remarkable stability in both neutral and doped states and have unusually low intrinsic band gaps.
